Yikes!!! At least they were apprehended, this is just too scary.  I take the Whitestone Expressway to the airport, and it's really close to me too.  I just get the feeling that they're gunning for another attack.  I really hope Obama is going to step up to the plate.  After the Christmas attempt something seriously needs to be done.  I'm so tired of hearing people complain about racial profiling, that's the world we live in today, sorry.  And I don't think we need more machines to detect something on someone, we need people that know what to look for, behaviour, mannerisms, body language, etc.  There's no machine that can replace the quick eye of a human.

Amen sista!  I agree, I hate racial profiling but sometimes safety trumps being politically correct.  Something needs to happen before its on our soil again.

Unfortunately racial profiling is a necessary evil today but maybe they should change the name to behavioural profiling, that way it might shut a lot of people up.

Re: 2 Al-Qaeida Suspects Arrested in NY

Screw racial profiling, America comes first.  I would like to know how I can get on with TSA to run one of those x-ray machines that lets you see whats on under the clothes.  I'll offer my services to scan the ladies.  Tongue

I really Hope they can get a full body scan thing that shows your skeleton like in Total Recall, that would be awesome

Re: 2 Al-Qaeida Suspects Arrested in NY

Correct

me

if

I'm

wrong,

but back during the elections, weren't they saying that even the terrorist organizations were hoping that Obama would win? Maybe this is the "change" Obama promised? More attacks on the U.S.? Laughing
